Stevie nailed it. City's best players are all nearing the end of their primes: KDB, Bernardo Silva, Gundogan, Walker, Stones, etc. They waited far too long to revamp the core, and now it's too late
KDB and Bernardo are still playing very well. Stones just needs time because of recent Injuries. Gundo and Walker yes. Those two are done. Pep is the main problem in this crisis. It is basically the first time he has to deal with this kind of transition and he has proven very incompetent until now.
Pep will never play low block with any team. He's not used to that it's against his philosophy. The only thing they need to do is to be clinical, they should take their chances and defend well.
Liverpool question: Can they keep this winning up through the next 3 weeks holiday schedule. And if we lost either Grav or Macca for more than 3-4 weeks to injury, would it be over for them?
I think that it would be poetic justice if the two Manchesters drew their game this weekend. Then let the pundits fight over the outcome and what it means in the large scope of reality.
